Growing Instructions

Sowing Season in Pakistan

October to December and February to March

Seed Preparation

For improved germination, soak the seeds in normal water for 12–24 hours before sowing. Rosemary seeds may germinate slowly, so patience is important.

Sowing Method

1. Fill a seedling tray or small pots with a light, well-drained growing medium.
2. Sow the seeds approximately ¼ inch deep.
3. Cover lightly with fine soil or cocopeat.
4. Mist gently without disturbing the seeds.
5. Keep the growing medium slightly moist but never waterlogged.

Germination

Germination may take approximately 2–5 weeks, depending on seed quality, temperature, moisture and growing conditions.

Sunlight

Keep the seedlings in bright indirect light initially. After establishment, gradually move them to a location receiving approximately 5–7 hours of sunlight daily.

Transplanting

Transplant seedlings when they have developed several true leaves and are strong enough to handle. Maintain approximately 12–18 inches of spacing between plants.

Soil

Use loose, fertile and fast-draining soil. A suitable mixture may include:

• 40% garden soil
• 30% compost or vermicompost
• 20% cocopeat
• 10% perlite or coarse sand

Watering

Water when the upper layer of soil begins to dry. Avoid excessive watering, as rosemary performs best in well-drained soil.

Harvesting

Begin light harvesting once the plant is healthy and well established. Cut only the upper tender shoots and avoid removing more than one-third of the plant at one time.
